Jobs and interviews suck way too much, quit and work independently?
Working for a Fortune 500, and thinking about quitting because things move way too slowly and it is very boring.
Tried to switch job and realize there are not many interesting corporate/startup jobs out there. Most of them are js jobs really (even in hackernews). And the interview process is so awful. I've interviewed at many places, given many onsites and it's the same. I don't even get why 4-5 people ask the same question and you have to answer the same thing. Also, when I joined my current job, I found out the interviewer who asked me to implement a certain data structure didn't know how to do it himself, I knew because we are now good friends and work together.
There are rare ones who are really targeting problem solving. But they are very rare. And I'm afraid even if I find them and join them I will get bored pretty soon.
Considering jobs are boring, interview process sucks do you think just quitting and starting with apps, open source is a good idea ? I can live for 1-2 years with my savings ? How many of you have followed this path and regretted ?
